A PotatoLink demo with grower Coby Badcock tested four fertiliser strategies on a Tasmanian crop, comparing high-input vs sap-guided approaches. The results offer insights into nutrient timing, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness—proving that more fertiliser doesn’t always mean better yield.

Shakira Johnson (AUSVEG) breaks down key biosecurity risks for potato growers—starting with infected seed—and offers practical steps to keep pests, diseases, and weeds off your farm. From certified seed to clean water and machinery, this article outlines what to check, record, and monitor to protect your crop and soil.

Queensland grower Mark Fritz shares two decades of lessons using cover crops in a potato farming system. From improving yields to reducing inputs, his practical approach offers insights for anyone looking to build soil health.

From canopy-targeted spraying to reducing soil compaction, drones are changing how potato growers manage crops. We spoke with contractor Rhys Muir to learn how this tech is being used in the field — and what it means for the future of farming.

Biological products, or biologicals, are a diverse group of agricultural inputs derived from living organisms such as plants, insects, microbes, or fungi. In potato production, these products can be used alongside conventional management practices for a variety of purposes such as improving nutrient efficiency and pest and disease management.
